5 Reasons If I Stay Is Your New The Fault In Our Stars

If the agonizing countdown until The Fault In Our Stars hits theaters in June has left you craving another addictive YA novel, add If I Stayto your reading list now, because this book-turned-movie is set to hit theaters in August, starring the ah-mazing Chloe Grace Moretz. Just grab a box of tissues first (seriously, the whole box—you'll need it).

Like TFIOS, the story sounds pretty depressing, but we promise, it'll be the best thing you've read all spring. Here are five reasons why If I Stay is the perfect holdover until TFIOS hits theaters:

More From Seventeen

1. It has the same make-you-swoon romance...

In TFIOS, the adorably perfect Augustus Waters treats Hazel Grace like a queen all while their love is tested to the max. If I Stay features another couple you can't help but fall for, Mia and Adam. While they fight at times and wonder why the other person could be so into them, Adam's unconditional love for Mia through the most difficult time in her life will bring back a lot of precious TFIOS memories.

2. ...That's interupted by a horrible tragedy...

Both TFIOS and If I Stay kick off with major tragedies. Hazel and Gus are forced to work through their cancer, and Mia and Adam are left to deal with a horrific car accident that will change them forever.

3. ...That could actually happen IRL.

While fantasy YA novels like The Hunger Games and Divergent were all the rage the past few years, the latest trend takes us from otherworldy fantasies to realistic tragedies that you can imagine happening IRL, even if you or someone you know hasn't experienced them. It's that it could happen to me feeling that makes TFIOS so addictive and will have you hooked on If I Stay as well.

4. You'll sob the entire way through the book....

There's just something about a makes-you-cry-through-every-single-page book that touches you in a way that no other genre can. Both TFIOS and If I Stay are beautiful reads that will have you reaching again and again for the tissue box.

5. ...But be inspired by #truelove

Just as Gus brings new life to Hazel's world, making her laugh and enjoy each day as she struggles through her illness, so does Adam for Mia as she struggles to hold onto life. Adam's love for Mia and the happiness he brings to her ultimately inspire her to make a very courageous decision.
